Filed under: Widget Watch
Last August, we wrote about Natal Vande Casteele's Disable Dashboard Widget, which has one purpose in life: One click, and it kills Dashboard. This week, Natal released the StopDashboard Widget. What's the difference? Disable Dashboard kills the Dashboard from running for good, while StopDashboard retains the ability to restart it with the F12 key.Reply in the Mail.app with a specific quote.

QuitDock also does this, and it's been around for a good while now.

I don't love Dashboard, don't hate it. Question: even if I have a buttload of RAM, would I notice a speed bump if I turn it off?

Hee Haw: no, especially if you never activate Dashboard. It loads the first time you access it in a given login session. Even after that, if no widgets are active, it should use a bare minimum of memory (and it will get swapped out to disk).
